*Procedure: Access these websites and browse their contents. Follow a few links within each site. You are to read quickly and make notes (open a word processing document on the side); please do not spend more than 10-15 minutes per site (unless you want to) -- read for the main idea and the particular focus of each site, bookmark it for the future, write a brief annotation, and type it up!

What is a "brief annotation," you ask? Simply write 100-150 words describing the content focus of the website, and then rate the usefulness of the site. Which websites are useful in coming to understand what plagiarism is? Will you refer back to them again if you are in doubt?*
